Time spent
Jul. 5th, 2005 11:52 amMany of you know that I work for Johns Hopkins University; specifically, I work for the School of Medicine. My actual title is Research Assistant; what I do depends on the day, and has included web design, medical data analysis (they give me the numbers; I tell them what the numbers mean), and running study protocols down to the Institutional Review Board five minutes before they close. (It's always, always five minutes before they close. Anyone who's helped put together a study protocol will appreciate why.)
( Financial details )
My supervisor, however, has pointed out something interesting to me. See, I put in enough overtime here that I can, very often, just use banked overtime to "pay" for my time off, instead of using vacation or sick days. What this means is that I have piles of vacation and sick days - such that on August 1, I'll have about 136 hours at my disposal, assuming I work no overtime between now and then.
Which means that I can work six hours a week throughout the month of August and still claim a 40-hour paycheck.
What seems strangest to me about this is that my supervisor suggested it.
